What P0243 means

P0243:16
Turbocharger/Supercharger Wastegate Solenoid A Low Ford · engine Data confidence 94%

Ford documents P0243:16 (circuit voltage below threshold) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as turbocharger/supercharger wastegate solenoid a low. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Compare commanded and measured values
  • Check applicable OEM service information
Applies to Ford gasoline-engine OBD applications|2024-2025 model years
